Working to make Loy Krathong a quieter festival, Sattahip officials
outlawed firecrackers and the sale of hot-air lanterns.
District Chief Phawat Lertmukda led a team of volunteers, police and
navy personnel through the Sattahip Market Nov. 4 looking for vendors
selling pyrotechnics without a license.
Wassana Wannasorn, 49, was arrested for selling “khom loy” lanterns and
firecrackers were seized from six other shops.
Phawat said the crackdown came out of fear of fires from flying lanterns
falling to earth and from children being injured by playing with
firecrackers.
Another, similar raid was conducted in Naklua where one shop was
inspected and one arrest made.
